What are the 8 animals and things the baby bird finds that he thinks might be his mother?
Fold 2 sheets of white paper in half to make a small book. On each page, draw the baby bird with one of the things, or animals, he mistakes for his mother, and write the name of the thing or animal. For example, the first one he finds is a kitten, so you will draw the baby bird with the kitten, and write the word "Kitten".
* Note: The last one is a steam shovel, but the baby bird thinks it is called a "Snort"! |
Snort?! No!!!

"The Little Orphan Annie" was a cartoon strip in the 1920's:
Then a musical was made, based on the cartoon strip. In 1982 the musical was turned into a movie. This version of "Annie" takes place during the Great Depression- a period of about 10 years in which many people were terribly poor and couldn't get jobs. President Franklin D. Roosevelt (or FDR) tried to help poor people by creating new jobs doing public projects like building parks and roads, planting trees, and fixing school buildings.
|
In 2014 another movie was made. This one takes place nowadays, in New York City.
